Verifying in multiple passes
Datacap applications can display the same page to multiple operators to ensure that accurate data entry and verification. Datacap supports two main implementations of multi-pass verification: two pass and double blind. Other implementations are possible, but you focus on these two implementations.
Procedure
- In two-pass verification:
- An operator (or a recognition engine) enters the initial value for each field.
- Datacap displays
the page to a second operator but hides the initial values. The operator
enters a new value for each field. Tip: If you are using a recognition engine to implement the first pass, you might choose to display only low confidence fields to the operator.
- For each field, Datacap compares the new value to the initial value. If they match, Datacap accepts the value; otherwise, the operator must reenter the value. Only when the operator enters the same value twice in a row does Datacap accept the value.
- In double-blind verification:
- An operator (or a recognition engine) enters the initial data values.
- Datacap displays the page to a second operator but hides the initial values. The operator enters a new value for each field and Datacap saves all the values (no comparing).
- Datacap displays the page to a third operator. Using a feature of AIndex that displays multiple values, the operator can see both the initial value and the second value.
- For fields where the initial value and the second value
are different, the operator must determine which value is correct,
or enter a new value:
- Clicking the initial value (or pressing Alt+Shift+A when the field has the focus) moves the initial value into the data entry field.
- To enter a new value, the operator must enter the same value twice in a row.
- Storing multiple values in the runtime page data file
Your application can store values from multiple data entry passes in the runtime page data file. - Actions that support multi-pass verification
The actions that are required to move and copy data are shown in this table. - Settings that support multi-pass verification
You can specify these settings in the Datacap Web Client Administrator tab, clicking Workflow, and selecting the relevant task. - Example of two-pass data entry
In this example, Operator 1 can be a person or a recognition engine. If you use a recognition engine for the initial data entry, it runs as a background process so there is no user interface shown. - Example of double-blind data entry
In this double blind example, Operator 1 can be a person or a recognition engine. If you use a recognition engine for the initial data entry, the recognition engine runs as a background process, in which case there is no user interface.
